@athenalee You are so right; there is a wealth of information on the internet. But there is also just as much misinformation. Most people have a really difficult time deciding what’s trustworthy and what’s a scam. As an oncology nurse, I frequently met people who were trying something “they found on the internet.” Sometimes they were trying a supplement that actually had chemotherapy drugs in them. But not ones the doctor wanted them to use.

Definitely! Since being on Tacrolimus, with its more than 700 known drug, food, supplement interactions, I research everything, rely just on the medical expertise, check Drugs.com, and if in doubt ask my transplant doctor. I learned the hard way when I took just two homeopathic pills for a sinus headache. I went in the following week for labs and my liver enzymes had risen substantially. My nurse asked me what I had taken, so I had a true confession moment!
